8.8.8.4. with Prelude

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

THE strife is o’er, the battle done;

The victory of life is won;

The song of triumph has begun.

Alleluia!

2

The powers of death have done their worst,

But Christ their legions hath dispersed;

Let shouts of holy joy outburst.

Alleluia!

3

The three sad days have quickly sped;

He rises glorious from the dead:

All glory to our risen Head!

Alleluia!

4

Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee,

From death’s dread sting Thy servants free,

That we may live and sing to Thee.

Alleluia!
